Chapter 394
Sylvia pouted.
Liam said, “Mommy, you don’t have to worry. When you go to look after Great-Grandma, we’ll go and
look for you there.” Isabel immediately agreed. “Yeah, yeah, we’ll look for you there every day.” Sylvia’s
eyes shifted. She pondered the matter for a bit before she said, “Great-Grandma needs to rest. It
wouldn’t be good to disturb her. You two can stay at home and wait for me to visit.”
Liam pouted but did not voice his disagreement.
Isabel also pouted, the annoyance clearly written all over her face.
Sylvia hugged the two of them tightly and said softly, “Come on, be a good girl and a good boy for
Mommy, please?”
Isabel begrudgingly hummed in reply.

because he doesn’t want you to stay with us?”
Sylvia’s expression changed. She quickly said, “Of course not. Mommy has to look after Great
Grandma.”
Liam pouted even more but said, “Okay.”
Just then, there was a knock from the butler from outside the door.
“Madam, the car is ready,” Sebastian said. “Alright. I’ll be right out,” Sylvia said.
She hugged the two little ones for a little while longer before she left.
It was the same car that she had arrived in the night before.
There was a driver and two bodyguards inside.
As Sylvia got into the rear seat, to her surprise, Isabel and Liam came running after her.
Sebastian closed the gate and stopped them from going into the car.
With tears in her eyes, Isabel cried out, “Mommy! Come back soon! I miss you!”
Liam was beside Isabel Even though he did not say anything, there was a strong sense of longing in
his eyes as well.
Tears filled Sylvia’s eyes and quickly rolled down her cheeks. She quickly wiped them away and said to
the driver, “Drive quickly.”
She was afraid that she would lose control and jump out of the car. The car drove off quickly. As the
two of them slowly disappeared from her sight, Sylvia looked down and buried her face in her hands.
After a while, her tears eventually stopped. She knew tears could not solve her problem right now. She
had to think of a way to clear her name and Edmund’s reputation so that she could return to her kids.
After she returned to the old Carter Residence, Sylvia passed the time by carving on wood pieces.
However, after carving for a while, she started to feel sleepy. It was probably due to Isabel’s condition

sleepiness and went to bed.
While she was fast asleep, she felt an immense pressure falling on top of her body, as if a giant rock
had landed on top of her.
She grunted and opened her eyes. The man’s handsome face appeared right in front of her eyes as he
kissed her roughly. She instinctively tried to fight back but her hands were pinned above her head.
Similar to before, she was subdued easily and all she could do was submit to his lust. There was no
chance for her to fight back at all.
Some time later, the sky fully turned dark and night arrived,
The room finally returned to peace and quiet.
Unlike before, he did not put on his clothes and leave. Instead, he laid down beside her and stared at
her gloomily.
Sylvia could not stand seeing his face, so she turned away. Odell grabbed her face and forced her to
look at him. He said, “I’ve discharged Grandmother and brought her here to recuperate.” He paid close
attention to her reaction as he broke the news to her. Sylvia was surprised. “Why did you bring
Grandmother here?” He sneered, “What’s wrong? Does this scare you?”
